Mort(e): A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
A genre-busting postapocalyptic first novel—a page-turning adventure channeling Animal Farm as imagined by Cormac McCarthy
The "war with no name" has begun; its goal, human extinction. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who,
for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that will forever
eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye,
this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation,
and religious superstition. The final step in the Colony's war effort is the transformation of surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who will rise up and kill their masters.
Former house cat turned war hero Mort(e) is famous for
taking on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human bioweapon
EMSAH. But the true motivation behind Mort(e)'s recklessness is his ongoing search
for a pretransformation friend—a dog named Sheba. When he receives a
mysterious message from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive,
he begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human strongholds to
the heart of the Colony, where he will discover the source of EMSAH and learn the
ultimate fate of all earth's creatures.

Starred review from March 23, 2015
Reader Pinchot delivers a sterling performance in this mind-bending dystopian tale. Sebastian is a happy, healthy house cat, with a family who feeds him and a loving friendship with Sheba, the dog next door. Meanwhile ant queen Hymenoptera, enraged by the anthropocentrism of humans, develops a race of super ants while releasing a pheromone that causes all animals to become humanlike. Sebastian, now over six feet tall and capable of handling firearms, adopts the name Mort(e) and becomes a ruthless soldier for the revolution, all the while looking for his canine friend, who went missing. Pinchot gives a masterly reading of Repino’s ambitious debut, which quickly develops into an absorbing morality tale. Pinchot’s calm, cool delivery fits perfectly with the world-weary tone of the book. His characters, especially Mort(e), are distinctive, diverse, and believable. He relays the dialogue with a realistic earnestness that belies the fact that it’s transfigured animals doing the talking. Suspenseful, action packed, and thought provoking, this listen is not to be missed. A Soho hardcover.
